Remember this drawer I found for a buck at the resale shop? Well, I got to thinking how this would make a great candle holder! Then my instinct was right, and stumbled upon this lovely color of spray paint… Ohhh Catalina Mist, how I love you! I saw this shade at Hobby Lobby and knew it would be perfect… View Post
A Book Makeover! Yes, A Book Makeover…
This was probably the easiest little project I’ve done to date. But it’s sooo cute!! I had these 2 books that I got at a resale shop recently… Well I took that blue one and fixed her up! First I spray painted it Heirloom White. I did tape around all of the pages so I could leave them old and… View Post
More Flower Pot Cuteness
I did another little project over the weekend with the 4 remaining little flower pots I found at the thrift store recently. You can click here for that post. We have this area above our front door in the entryway… So I decided to use my 4 little pots and sit them on the ledge above the door and decorate… View Post
My Prized Possessions…Hutch and Buffet Redo
Have you inherited an ugly piece of furniture whenever you got married? I have. It was our dining room buffet table. I’ve lived with it for 4 years now, and it was time for an overhaul when I found this hutch at Goodwill to go on top of it. Goodwill had it marked for $99, and I got it for… View Post
Well, I Thought I Had an Original Idea…
…until I did a search on Google and saw that these have been made…like all over the place! I should have never searched to make sure. What a buzz-kill! It was just too clever that someone other than me thought this idea up. Haha. But, I’m still going to show you! So, remember one of my mason jars I just… View Post
Front Porch Facelift
First of all, I don’t really think what we have is considered a “porch” but I didn’t know what else to call it. Entryway, walkway, or is it a porch? So, here is our porch (or entryway, walkway?) before. And this picture was from December when it snowed because I was a bad blogger and didn’t take a good before… View Post
My Numbered Flower Pots!
Remember these pots I found at the thrift store recently? Well part of sprucing up my front porch included painting them. I haven’t done the small pots yet…those are for inside the house, I think. So I painted them Rustoleum satin black. I don’t have pictures of that because that is pretty self explanatory. :) But here’s the fun part!… View Post
Rosette Lamps With Easy Tutorial
I wanted to give a quick tutorial on how I made these rosettes for the lamps in our master bedroom redo. I’m sure I am not the first person to do it this way, but all of the tutorials I saw included tying a knot and using a pencil, and/or some sort of sewing was involved. So, I just went… View Post
I Finally Made a Wreath!
My front door has been so naked without anything on it. I don’t know why wreaths stress me out, but they do. Then once I do it, it’s SO easy. But all of those aisles at Hobby Lobby with strands of greenery and flowers everywhere just makes me nervous. I’m a dork, I know. I guess when there is too… View Post
Decorating Help Needed
I’d love to hear some suggestions on decorating our t.v. nook in our family room. I’m talking about the wall the t.v. is on, and the wall around it. I know part of the redo involves painting over the faux finish inside the nook. I’m so over it! But what color to paint? What should I do with… View Post
Easy Wall Art
When I redid our master bedroom, I didn’t want to buy a lot of art pieces to hang on the wall because I was on a budget, and I wanted something more original. And I also was liking the simplicity of the room, and didn’t feel like I had to fill up every inch of wall space. Decorating with plates… View Post
Master Bedroom Redo
*UPDATE* – This room has been redone again, so click here for the latest redo. :) Well our room is just about finished so I’m going to show it now. :) I know you probably want to see pictures first, but let me just talk a little bit…or a lot. This will be a long post, but there will be… View Post
